Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I suspect in lockdown people might be doing more over eating and over drinking

PH - I know I certainly am eating more (and frankly I needed to lose weight even before lockdown), and whilst I'm not drinking excessively, I'm definitely drinking more - we used to very rarely drink at home, and many weeks with being busy with work, running club training nights, races etc, I would often go for weeks without drinking any alcohol. We're not drinking every night, but we are having a beer or a gin on a few nights a week now.

Folk seem to be doing more baking, they must be as there is no flour to be seen by me when I go shopping.

With regard to drinking, I probably had more wine than I would normally have because I had no where to drive to or from and it was something to do, now I am sticking to a couple of nights a week.

I am definitely drinking more in the house but we’re obviously not going out, so if I added in all drinking options in reality we may be no worse maybe slightly better.

Eating much healthier my temptation was always at work and out and about I've managed to lose a few lbs too.

I am also able to fit in more consistent exercise with no commute. So I think overall I’m not doing bad.

I had heard that of other food producers my friend worked for KP many years ago she was sick of pretzels by time she left. I miss the cheap purchases she could get 😂 I’m not so restrained with savoury.
